Forbidden tree
Forgetful mind
A devil’s plot
In a scheme Divine
What is, is not
What is not, is
What is, is not
Whale
Inside the beast
Within the sea
How near the sound
Of prophet’s plea
What is, is not
What is not, is
Baby
Their dancing tongues
In faithless cheeks
The mother, silent
The infant speaks
What is, is not
What is not, is
Yāsīn
ʿAlīy remains,
No fear about.
Yasīn, on a breath of
Yasīn, steps out.
What is, is not.
What is not, is.
Snake
The staff is a snake
The messenger flees
“Musa, don’t fear”
Returns it with ease
What is, is not
What is not, is
Foot Soldier
An army of lies
Behind Jalūt,
Submitting foot soldier
And a pebble of truth.
What is, is not.
What is not, is.
